Having read the comments section from yesterday, I can safely conclude this: if the bulls versus bears was a physical fight, we would win! Bears are pissed off!
Ah, well. At least it looks like we'll get a smidgen of relief at the opening bell. After IBM's earnings came out yesterday afternoon, I was fearing another triple-digit point higher on the Dow at the opening bell. Today is also a big earnings day. And of course, the monster of all monsters – GOOG – reports about 3 milliseconds after the closing bell. That will make an interesting show, for better or worse.
